R2 Controls today announced the completion of its second full year of operations in designing, engineering, manufacturing and distributing industrial grade microcontroller solutions. In addition to reaching the important two-year survival milestone for a technology start up company, R2 Controls confirmed that it products are now being used by more than fifty customers in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , Canada, Europe, South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. and Africa. "Recurring multi-unit and repeat customer sales have now kicked in," reported R2 Controls President Tim Hinchey. "We have now sold over 700 of our standard and customized embedded controller Controller circuitry built into a device or on the main system board, in contrast with a removable card or module. products since starting the business in April 2002. Our Flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. , the R101 Gazelle gazelle, name for the many species of delicate, graceful antelopes of the genus Gazella, inhabiting arid, open country. Most gazelles are found only in Africa, but several species range over N Africa and SW Asia; the Persian, or goitered, gazelle ( , is the most frequently purchased of the standard line of controllers and it has also been the core technology for several customized controller solutions designed for specific customer requirements. However, all of the standard line of highly flexible standard controllers are now selling on multi-unit purchase orders, a good sign that R2 Controls now has a recognized presence in the industrial microcontroller market," continued Hinchey. The R2 Controls products are based on the highly reliable Silicon Labs 8051 system-on-a-Chip technology, operating at up to 100MHZ. The controllers all have a large amount of analog and digital I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output capabilities and multiple communications protocols, including Modbus. A most significant R2 Controls achievement this past year was the agreement reached with Control Design, Inc., of Albuquerque New Mexico New Mexico, state in the SW United States. At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S). , for whom R2 Controls has co-engineered and manufactures the Control Design C18 line of wireless telemetry-based fluid monitoring and control systems. The Control Design systems provide an exceptionally high level of radio transmission and data quality, especially over long distances in remote areas and areas of rugged terrain. The Control Design products are widely used by water distribution and irrigation irrigation, in agriculture, artificial watering of the land. Although used chiefly in regions with annual rainfall of less than 20 in. (51 cm), it is also used in wetter areas to grow certain crops, e.g., rice. agencies, oil exploration and distribution companies and other public agencies where the timeliness and accuracy of monitoring, measuring and controlling these crucial natural resources are becoming increasingly important. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Tim Hinchey, "The migration of the business focus to custom solutions, such as the Control Design systems, will continue to be the main driver for R2 Controls business growth. Many technical product development companies simply do not have the in-house expertise to design, engineer and manufacture the complex microcontroller platforms that are essential to their end products or internal industrial control systems. We have both the proven technology platforms and the expertise to modify or design the software and firmware to execute a custom product very quickly." R2 Controls R2 Controls, based in Roseville, California, is a manufacturer and distributor of industrial grade, low cost microcontroller solutions that deliver high performance, reliability and exceptional flexibility. R2 Controls designs and manufactures both standard and customized single board computers, operator interfaces, and expansion boards for control of industrial devices and other OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and embedded applications.
